For sale is a 1972 MG Midget. The car is in great shape and is running strong with little over 58,000 miles. The previous owner updated the plugs & wires, clutch, pressure plate, clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, brakes, brake master cylinder, battery, alternator, starter solenoid, tires, and top. When I took possesion of the car in 2012 I had it professionally tuned up by a mechanic who specializes in vintage British cars. Other than the tune up, the only issue he found on the car was the electric fuel pump - which was fixed. I also purchased boot cover (which is brand new and never been used) for the top and a tonneau cover (used, but is in great shape). The only issues I know with the car are - (1) The slack on the emergency break needs to be tighten. (2) The gas and oil pressure gage isn't working and (3) There are a few points where the pant is coming off the car. however, it is the car's original paint and other than a few points, the paint still looks amazing.
As the title says, I have a 1976 MG Midget for sale. VIN is GANGVG184886. It has roughly 69992 original miles on it at the time of this posting. It does run and is driveable, but it needs a bit of work.The tires are in good shape with a reasonable amount of tread on them, and the engine fires right up. It does not currently have a top, but I do have the (unattached) frame to go with the car. It is also missing the gearshift knob.The previous owner installed a Flamethrower electronic ignition and coil as well as an upgraded (aftermarket) exhaust header and larger Weber downdraft carburetor. The original radiator fan and clutch have also been replaced with an electric fan. In order to accomplish this, however, it was also apparently necessary to remove the heater.There are (surprise, surprise!) some electrical gremlins that need to be worked out, as there are with virtually all British cars like this. The choke cable has been clipped and will need to be repaired, and there is no horn. The signal lamps work intermittently as well. I had planned on upgrading the electrical system to a modern blade-style fuse system, but I never was able to find the time to dive into that.I do have two complete Haynes manuals as well as a laminated, full-color wiring schematic that will prove helpful in working on the electrics.Like I said, though, it does run. Turn the key and it fires up right away. I've taken it on little jaunts through my neighborhood and it never gave me any problems.Thanks for looking!
